Binance says it will cover all losses after a record $6.3 billion hack, but it’s a good day to check your own crypto setup.
Unlike a credit card, a crypto transaction is hard to reverse if someone gets into your account or wallet. A few basic habits go a long way.
6 ways to keep your crypto safe after the Binance hack:
🔐 Turn on two-factor authentication.
🏦 Don’t leave more on an exchange than you need.
🧊 Keep a little in a hot wallet for trading and move the rest to a cold wallet. A hardware wallet can cost $60 to $250.
🔑 Never share your private key or seed phrase. No real support agent will ask for it.
🧹 Check and revoke old wallet permissions.
🎣 Slow down on links, downloads and DMs. Phishing and fake apps are where a lot of theft starts.
